“Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another and feeling with the heart of another.” – Alfred Adler
Making a difference, today and tomorrow Rikki Colon, High School Teacher and Guidance Counselor
As facilitators, we have an amazing opportunity to help guide developing minds for life beyond the high school years. The individuals that move on from Oak Farm Montessori High School are poised to become contributing members of society, offering both empathy and compassion to the world around them. Maria Montessori’s revolutionary notion to “follow the child” empowers us to support students in the pursuit of their passions. These passions can turn into careers that have a greater impact than we can currently imagine. The Senior Capstone project here at Oak Farm focuses on the student’s long-term commitment to their personal passion. Students must move outside the walls of school and engage with the community to go deeper into their area of focus. Allow me to introduce you to a student who is in the midst of this journey of discovery.
